The Weymouth Wizard returns! Bring the bucket, spade and big smiles aboard our special Summer Saturday trip to Weymouth! With eight carriages, a buffet car and great value fares from Bristol and Wiltshire we can promise an excellent trip there and back - we just can’t guarantee the sunshine! Every year, First Great Western teams up with the Heart of Wessex Community Rail Partnership to promote rail travel on this stunning branch line which skirts around the edge of the Mendip Hills before arriving in the Yeovil Scarplands. From here, the train runs across the Dorset Downs to arrive in Weymouth. With stunning sandy beaches and a fine array of places to eat and drink we can safely say everyone will enjoy this great day out for family, couples or friends. You will have a break of almost six hours to enjoy the delights of this bracing Seaside town which gets better every year!

Instead, try Dorchester. With a break of over six hours, visit the amazing Dinosaur Museum! Try your best to make the same RAWR of a truly historic beast and then get hands on with the Museum’s many artefacts and exhibitions. Entry costs just £23.99 for a family of four and you can then enjoy the fine country Pubs before boarding the train back home. During this August, trains will not operate between Westbury and Bath Spa via Bradford-on-Avon due to major engineering works at Bathampton. Therefore, we can, for the first time, offer our special service to Weymouth from Swindon and Chippenham. We are preparing for the bigger, longer trains which will operate on the Heart of Wessex routes and will still operate our favourite train, the Weymouth Wizard, every Saturday during August. Fares start at just £17.90 for an Off Peak Day Return from Bristol T Meads to Weymouth for adults and £8.95 for children or £16.90 for an Off Peak Day Return from Swindon to Weymouth for adults and £8.45 for children. With such amazing value and a fine train with adequate space for all, what’s stopping you from coming aboard? fgw.co.uk #weymouthwizard WW NHAIR EXP 01SEP15 Trans Wilts Community Rail Partnership
